I recently started playing with scenes too. Maybe I should go that route with more of my lights

Molto bello!

Yes, definitely. That’s one of the reasons I’ve implemented this way. If a light (for example) had the physical switch turned off and back on, a lot of smart bulbs will go to the on state, even if HA had previously set (and expects it to be) off. The next execution may turn it off in an off state, on in an on state, on from an off state or off from an on state, but either way that truth table will resolve after an iteration

Oh that’s good to know. I have a handful of Kasa bulbs and I don’t give them WAN access. They seem to be mostly fine without WAN, but I do get communication issues with them from time to time (which is why I’m exploring zigbee as an alternative). Thank you for the reply!

Great points. I have white a few smart switches through the house to control things both physically and via Home Assistant. Most of the other lights are wifi based and work mostly as expected with occasional drops (which can get annoying). Was wanting to experiment with ZigBee to see if it was more reliable, but it sounds like that might not be the case

Ambient Weather looks great. Just with it had air quality as well

I’ll check this out, thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Something like this guy? That looks perfect, thanks!

Rsync or SCP?

That would be my exit sign

Good idea. I should back these up to Tresorit from time to time as well. Thanks!

Maybe this isn’t a robust strategy, but I run HA in Proxmox and have nightly snapshots of that VM. Anytime I need to restore I just revert to the appropriate snapshot

+1 to this. Tresorit and Mullvad are both exceptional

I left to Tuta (E2EE and German based) and switched from Simple Login to Addy. Took less than an hour and it’s been smooth sailing.

Reminds me of project Silica. Media historically was more durable (stone/ ink and cloth paper, etc) but had a low data density. As density increased, so did fragility

So sad, I remember seeing his YT vid announcing his health updates and mentioning he was getting things in order to make his network more manageable for his family :(

He seemed like a great dude.

Not that this makes it any better, but a lot of other tech companies are also doing this, and it shouldn’t go unnoticed

Wait, If Windows is 96.21% and Linux is 1.96%, then MacOS is 1.83%?

Wouldn’t that make Linux 2nd place?
